We forgot about that. [00:01:11] Speaker A: Yeah, professional. [00:01:12] Speaker C: I'm a professional. Everybody's a Leo. [00:01:16] Speaker A: It's like coke in the South. Everything's a Coke. [00:01:18] Speaker B: Everything's a Coke. [00:01:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:19] Speaker B: Everything is a code. He said we're. We're LEOs with AIM. [00:01:22] Speaker A: Okay. Oh, because we had the arrows. Yeah. Well, we're gonna welcome here. Jortavius. [00:01:31] Speaker C: I like it. [00:01:35] Speaker A: Arendelle. We got the man to myth the legend himself, Mr. G. Wade. How are you doing, sir? [00:01:42] Speaker C: I'm doing all right. Thank y' all for having me. [00:01:43] Speaker A: Thank you for joining us. [00:01:45] Speaker B: We are so excited for this one. [00:01:46] Speaker A: Listen, because we was. We was like pondering who we gonna have on the picture. Charlisa was like, have you ever had ga way on there? I said, no, I have not had G.A. wade on my show yet. And so now we know it's just G because the A actually stands for something, but. [00:02:00] Speaker B: Right. [00:02:00] Speaker A: We're gonna call it whatever we want to call it. [00:02:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Just a G. It's an origin to my name. [00:02:05] Speaker C: And I tell y'. All, okay. I don't tell many people this. [00:02:08] Speaker B: Okay? [00:02:08] Speaker C: So now I'm gonna tell y'. [00:02:09] Speaker A: All. [00:02:09] Speaker C: Now y' all gonna be the first ones to ever like. But My name? [00:02:13] Speaker A: No, I. [00:02:14] Speaker C: For real. My dad's name was Gus Andre Wade. And he really wanted me to be named after her. Mom was like, I am not naming you Gus. I'm not gonna do that. There's no way I'm naming my son Gus. [00:02:25] Speaker A: Wow. Okay. [00:02:25] Speaker C: And my dad was like, well, we gotta do something. So they just named me G. So. [00:02:28] Speaker B: That was a compromise. [00:02:29] Speaker C: That was a compromise. [00:02:30] Speaker B: Wow. So you're a junior? Kind of. Sort of. [00:02:32] Speaker C: I'm the second. Ah. So instead of calling me a junior, I'm Giantre Wade ii. [00:02:37] Speaker A: Is that still how that works? I don't feel like it works that way. [00:02:40] Speaker B: That's crazy, because my dad. [00:02:42] Speaker A: That's fast. I could be the fifth. [00:02:43] Speaker B: No, my dad's the second. Even though he. [00:02:46] Speaker C: You know what's crazy? If you have a daughter and you try to name her junior or the second or third, they won't put it on a birth certificate. [00:02:53] Speaker A: Yeah, really? They won't. [00:02:55] Speaker C: I have a friend who did it and they wouldn't put it on. [00:02:56] Speaker A: So, like Chrisean's kid. [00:02:58] Speaker B: Yeah, it won't be. They won't allow, like the junior or whatever. Okay, that's so crazy. [00:03:06] Speaker A: But if you can name it however you want to, why not? [00:03:08] Speaker C: I know, right? [00:03:09] Speaker B: Right. I know. [00:03:11] Speaker A: We have to ponder on that one. [00:03:12] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. Cause. Yeah. [00:03:14] Speaker A: There's no free will. Okay, I wasn't even ready for this conversation, but I know we just learned something new today. We did. [00:03:20] Speaker C: I'm also a teacher. I'm also a teacher. [00:03:22] Speaker A: Listen, it makes sense. It makes sense. I was gonna say. Cause back in high school when I went to Grant, and one of the things that we learned, those real trivial facts that you just have no reason for knowing, is what does the S stand for in Ulysses S. Grant? [00:03:34] Speaker C: Oh. What does it stand for? [00:03:35] Speaker A: Nothing. [00:03:35] Speaker B: What? [00:03:36] Speaker A: His name is really Hubert Ulysses Grant. And he was running and didn't want to be called Hug, so he changed his name to Ulysses and picked a S and put. Yeah. [00:03:45] Speaker B: Wow. [00:03:46] Speaker A: So he didn't want his initials to be hugged. [00:03:47] Speaker B: Okay, you know what? I. Because I do know a lot of people don't typically have like a middle name or anything like that. So maybe. [00:03:54] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. He sound like he was real self conscious to be a general. [00:03:59] Speaker B: Right, right. [00:04:00] Speaker C: You know what I mean? Like, I mean, I get it, my nigga, but. Yeah, bro, you going to war, you can't be that self conscious. [00:04:06] Speaker A: That's true. [00:04:08] Speaker B: He gotta have a little bit more or less fucks again, right? Like, take this hood, motherfucker. [00:04:14] Speaker A: No, I'm just like, okay. Oh, my God. Okay, we gonna be serious again. Okay, that's gonna be. [00:04:19] Speaker B: No, really. [00:04:20] Speaker A: I know a whole comedian on here, and I really do want to know about that. Like, so how long have you been a comedian? [00:04:25] Speaker C: I only been, like, jumping on stages for about the past six years. [00:04:28] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. What made you get into that? [00:04:31] Speaker C: I had a friend and I was working at a Providence at the hospital, and he was like, I'll be doing comedy sometimes. You should come to open mic with me. You funny. And I was like, all right, I'll go. I'll just watch. And then I went to go watch, and I wasn't planning on signing up, but I seen the people doing comedy up there. I was like, I'm funnier than these motherfuckers. Oh, shit. Yeah. And then so I signed up and I went up there and. And from there I just. I couldn't stop doing it. [00:04:52] Speaker B: Wow. [00:04:52] Speaker C: I could not stop doing it. [00:04:54] Speaker B: Do you find it hard to be funny on purpose? [00:04:57] Speaker C: No. [00:04:58] Speaker B: Really? [00:04:58] Speaker C: Nuh. [00:04:59] Speaker A: So when people be like, say something funny, you can just do it. [00:05:02] Speaker C: No, I just usually roll with the energy. Like, depending on what kind of energy they give me, when they say that, I just give it right back to them. And then we end up laughing. I'm one of the ones like, you know, it's like trying to do a comedy show at a dinner party. It doesn't work right. You need to set up a comedy show. I gotta have a stage audience, and you know what I'm saying? A mic. And it has to be control. But I tell people all the time, if you talk to me long enough, I guarantee you're gonna laugh. [00:05:24] Speaker B: So 100. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. That's what I've always. I know if I need to get a laugh, I'm always gonna be able to go to you for a good laugh. [00:05:30] Speaker C: Oh, yeah? Yeah. [00:05:31] Speaker B: Even when you. Do you be trying. I don't know. Or do you be trying to be serious? Or maybe you just really. [00:05:35] Speaker A: Because I can't believe sometimes I really. [00:05:37] Speaker C: Be serious and people be laughing at me. [00:05:39] Speaker A: Yeah. At this point, he done got me already. I'm not. I'm not believing he said. I'm just saying the way he was. [00:05:45] Speaker C: Like, oh, I just be really. Because. And I really push my hairpiece because it's good, right? And I think everybody that's bald, you know, I think y' all should take a chance and then get your youth back. Feel what it's like to have hair again, like a hairline and, like, be Able to shake that. Like, you should do it. All the bald men out there do not be afraid to get a hairpiece. You know what I mean? [00:06:07] Speaker B: I mean, Tory Lanez definitely did that and it'll change your life. Not everybody's meant to be bald. So I feel that not everybody can go to Turi. I agree with that. [00:06:15] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? [00:06:16] Speaker B: But one thing about it, that if. If we are ending up having some grown time and your lace starts lifting. I'm not mature enough. [00:06:23] Speaker C: What if he just snatch it off like right sexy like before you jump into bed. [00:06:27] Speaker B: You know that's true. [00:06:28] Speaker A: We'd be sliding the bonnets off his hair. Just sliding. [00:06:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I could do something with that. I could do something with that. [00:06:37] Speaker A: No, I'm gonna around and step on that and be pissed off and scared at the same time. Like. [00:06:42] Speaker B: No. Do you know how much them come cost? [00:06:44] Speaker A: No. How much do they cost? [00:06:45] Speaker B: Hair units are not cheap. [00:06:48] Speaker C: No, I get mine for free. Yeah, I got a couple little homies, they make them in the backyard. I got, you know what I mean? [00:06:55] Speaker B: The 11 year old. [00:06:56] Speaker A: Yeah, they grow them in the backyard. What? [00:06:59] Speaker C: No, we make them in the backyard. I. When they go to school, I send them with scissors and they cut other kids hair and they power it all up. [00:07:05] Speaker A: Okay. [00:07:05] Speaker B: It is an accidental donation program, you. [00:07:08] Speaker C: Know, and that's what we make the units out of. [00:07:10] Speaker A: You know, the haircut from when they. [00:07:12] Speaker C: Just sneak, you know, me, a couple snips off with other kids in class hair. We put it all together, we like match it up for like curl pattern and then we collect it over time and then we make the units. It's amazing. Anybody can have one. [00:07:29] Speaker A: You gonna have every elder in this, in this city. Like, don't be putting that energy in you. I rebuke that to my scary movie producer. Right when the hair is possessed. [00:07:41] Speaker B: Yes. [00:07:41] Speaker A: Listen, that's gonna be scary movie. [00:07:42] Speaker B: Like tales from the crib. [00:07:44] Speaker A: Exactly. Oh, my. Aside from doing comedy, what is it that you do for your daytime living and your community work? Because you do a lot of stuff. [00:07:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:55] Speaker A: Which is why we couldn't schedule because you was like, I'm doing this, I'm doing that. [00:07:57] Speaker C: I gotta walk through. [00:07:58] Speaker A: I do this, I do that. [00:07:59] Speaker C: It'd be a whole bunch of stuff. But I'm. I mean, I got a lot of friends who do a lot of business and I always do my best to invest in them and with them. And so that's one thing that I do. Another thing I do is I'm a Engagement coordinator with a group called Cultivate Initiatives. [00:08:14] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:15] Speaker C: And so I'm always outside. Just, you know, my job is really to bring the community to cultivate and cultivate to the community. We do a whole bunch of, like, we got a beautification team that goes around and cleans up a bunch of places. We go clean up camps that have been abandoned also. We'll go to, you know what I'm saying? Camps where people chilling and be like, hey, y' all got some stuff y' all wanted to throw away? Wow. They just, you know, I'm saying, gather they stuff and clean up around the area. Tossing the truck, you know, I'm gonna dump it off. We got shower trucks, three of them, one stationary at the hub, and then we got two more that we drive around, give people showers, and let them do their laundry. [00:08:47] Speaker A: That's what's up. [00:08:49] Speaker C: Yeah. And the Safe Westville is 75 people in a safe reserve on 122nd of Burnside. [00:08:53] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:08:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:08:55] Speaker A: Oh, wow. Do you find that, like, your. Your personality and. And how you navigate in comedy, does that kind of transition or translate into the work that you do and your ability to create relationships? [00:09:06] Speaker C: Yeah, I've met a whole bunch of relationships through, like, in the social work realm, through comedy. Just going out doing shows and, you know, me speaking and talking about the things that I talk about. Sometimes I got so many jokes, and all my jokes come from, like, reality. It comes from my reality. So, you know, I tell a joke about something, I meet somebody afterwards. Oh, I do this, and, you know, I work with this group over here. I'm like, oh, we should actually link up in the daytime. You know, let's finish, you know what I'm saying? Getting drunk, and let's hit this leave real quick. But in the daytime, when we got our regular faces on, like, you know what I'm saying? We should actually talk about this. [00:09:38] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, let's get drunken and do some community stuff. Meet me outside. [00:09:47] Speaker B: Different level of outreach. [00:09:49] Speaker A: I love it. I love it. What has been the. The most difficult thing as far as breaking into comedy? [00:09:56] Speaker C: It's always that who you know, and then traveling a lot, you know, I do. I got a lot going on here, so it's hard to. For me to travel as much as I want. I do get to travel, but it take a lot for me to get. For somebody to get me somewhere else, you know, and it's one of those things, but you have to be in those other places in order to. In order, you know, to widen your fan base. You gotta be on those stages. [00:10:17] Speaker A: What's the. What's, like, the best place for comedy? Because I hear, like, a lot of people talk about Seattle. [00:10:21] Speaker C: Seattle is dope. I love Seattle for comedy, but I really love Tacoma for comedy. More than Seattle. [00:10:25] Speaker B: Not to Compton. [00:10:27] Speaker C: Tacoma is a way better comedy hub than Seattle. They got the Nate Jacksons, and then you got. And then you got Tacoma Comedy Club. I'm from Seattle. [00:10:38] Speaker B: Okay. I did not know you was from Tecompton. You know, we be beefing with y' all a little bit, but it's all right. [00:10:43] Speaker C: Oh, you from Seattle. Seattle. Okay. Yeah. I don't know why. I think you all know where I'll be beefing. Cause Tacoma really is. It's the blackest space in the Northwest. [00:10:55] Speaker A: Say it again. [00:10:55] Speaker C: It's the blackest space in Pacific Northwest. It is, it is, it is. [00:10:59] Speaker B: Yeah. There's certain areas. Yeah, it's a little different. [00:11:02] Speaker C: No, it's dope. I mean, like, just for the whole community. Like, you come to Portland and it's white. Like, you know, we got our pockets. [00:11:07] Speaker B: It is. [00:11:08] Speaker C: But Tacoma really is. [00:11:09] Speaker B: I try to explain to people, I'm like, Washington definitely has a lot more diversity, has a lot more of us than here. People always say that it's exactly the same, and it's not. Yeah, yeah. That's why, like, I tell people all the time, I didn't pay attention to being black and being how little of us were in the room until I moved to Oregon because it wasn't at the forefront. Like, you could move around a little bit different. You probably even feel a lot more comfortable whenever you're, like, up in Washington or, like. [00:11:32] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah. Shout out. My guy, Bo Blast. He do a lot of comedy up there, man. That's my guy. He part of the hub. We got a comedy fraternity. It's 10 of us from the Pacific Northwest. So. No, I mean, we were the. One of the founding members. I wanted to. Founding members. I didn't have to go through. No. You know what I mean? Yeah. We rock. We put each other on different stages all the time and just continue to move and grow together. So it's good. [00:12:01] Speaker A: Imagine if y n had, like, some line names and, like, y' all be out here. [00:12:05] Speaker B: Jack, brother. Oh, my. [00:12:08] Speaker C: I think we should do that, actually. I'mma bring that up. [00:12:11] Speaker B: You guys need some letterman jackets and all that. [00:12:13] Speaker C: I don't know what. What kind we. We. We can't be Greek, though. [00:12:16] Speaker B: No, we niggas. [00:12:18] Speaker C: We going be. We going be Ethiopian or something. [00:12:20] Speaker B: We gonna be you know what? [00:12:23] Speaker C: We gonna be Zulu or something? I'm. What. I mean, right. [00:12:26] Speaker B: I mean, I feel that that's fair. [00:12:29] Speaker A: Everybody going to be fighting over Shaka and Mandinka. [00:12:32] Speaker B: Right. Right. [00:12:33] Speaker A: I cannot. That is what have you. As far as your community work outside of what you do with your. Your job and the work that you do with the. The. Like the showers and the cleanup and the. And the working with the. The population. I see that you do a lot of things with other community members. Like, you've got. The walks that you've been promoting with. [00:12:53] Speaker C: With the wealthy group. [00:12:54] Speaker A: Yeah, the wealthy group and all that. How much of your time do you devote to outside projects that are not related to, like, your regular day jobs or your. Your personal projects? [00:13:05] Speaker C: I think it comes. I'm one of those people who we talk. I like. I love a team. Nobody can do anything by themselves. So the team does what the team is supposed to do. So everybody's doing what they're supposed to do. Then I don't. My time is. You know me. I don't have to throw in as much time, but I'm always one of those people who I'm gonna pick up where somebody else is lacking. So it just depends on the team that I'm with in any different venture that I'm. That I'm in at the time, you know, And I always want to let them know, too, like, because I'm an honest person, too. So, like, hey, no, you got to pick that up, man. I got to keep doing this for you, because you're not doing it. What you going through? Like, you know what I'm saying? At least tell me what. You talk to me about it. So now I don't feel like. You just feel like I need to do this thing that you signed up for. You know what I mean? And so it usually works if you got a good group. So not. Not as much as. Yeah. As you would think. [00:13:57] Speaker A: Okay. [00:13:57] Speaker B: How do you navigate that, though? Because unfortunately, I do think that. That there's a lot of, I guess, kind of mediocrity or a lot of. Sometimes a lackluster effort whenever it comes to a lot of things that we do, like, you know, our community, we're wonderful. We're having ideas, but sometimes the execution falls short. Like, how do you. Or how have you had to navigate that? [00:14:19] Speaker C: Whenever that happens, I think just being honest with people, I'm not afraid to fight a. So, I mean, I'll tell you the truth. You know what I mean? Like, I don't. I'm not trying to fight you, but if me telling you the truth makes you want to fight me, so, well. [00:14:36] Speaker B: We can get all these two. [00:14:37] Speaker C: And so I did, I think by being honest and then also having people around you that can, that can take that honesty and don't always. And that level of accountability as like a cutter. You don't like me. No, I'm not saying I don't like you. I'm telling you you're not doing your job. And it should be. [00:14:50] Speaker B: Yeah, and you can't argue with that. [00:14:52] Speaker C: You can't argue with it. [00:14:52] Speaker B: Yeah, right. [00:14:53] Speaker C: But then also being that example too, like going hard, you know what I mean? [00:14:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Because I do think it would be different if you didn't have that level of dedication or you weren't the example, you know, then it would be hard for you to call people on the fact that they're not doing. But what I do know about you is that you're stand up in everything that you do. So I think it probably makes it easier for you to go to people doing what you're supposed to be doing. Right? [00:15:15] Speaker A: Yeah, we be working. [00:15:16] Speaker C: You don't sleep. I don't sleep as much as you do, but I get my sleep when I sleep. [00:15:21] Speaker A: That's like the most backhanded ass thing to say. Like I'm going to sleep as you do. [00:15:25] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:15:26] Speaker C: I'll be all right. [00:15:27] Speaker B: Oh, sleepy head. [00:15:30] Speaker A: Ass. [00:15:30] Speaker C: Sleepy head ass. You a real rest of us, nigga. [00:15:37] Speaker A: Do you find, you find that it's easy to work with your like your friend group or is that, is it easy to work with folks that just happen to have the same interests as you? [00:15:46] Speaker C: No, I like working with people who like a diverse group of people with different ideas, you know what I mean? Because if everybody is the same, it's gonna be bland and blank, you know what I'm saying? [00:15:55] Speaker B: You gotta kind of get out your comfort zone too. I don't think it's easy to work with friends because a lot of times it's hard to put your foot in they ass whenever they're not doing what they supposed to do, you know? [00:16:06] Speaker A: And friends get real complacent sometimes too. They like, they're, they're okay with like. [00:16:09] Speaker B: Oh, that's the hom. [00:16:10] Speaker A: Right, right, or oh, I know how she functions. So she goes, she gonna pick up the slack or whatever. So I see that. Do you find it hard to self care with all the stuff that you do, especially the kind of work that you do sometimes? [00:16:22] Speaker C: No, no. Self care comes in a lot of different Ways I'm big on meditating. Like, I'm big on, like, you know, I mean, turning everything off. [00:16:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:30] Speaker C: Stretching and like, just actually taking time to, like, not think. You know what I mean? Turning my brain completely off. And every time I feel myself focusing or thinking about something, I go back to just trying to breathe and follow my breath until I'm not thinking again. [00:16:42] Speaker A: Right. [00:16:42] Speaker B: Was that a learned practice? I mean, like, how did you get into meditating? Because it's not normal, unfortunately, you know what I mean? For men to have that. To like, normalize that type of practice, especially in our community. I don't think that. I know it's a buzzword now. I think it's definitely growing in popularity. But as far as, like, how did you get into that avenue of, like, learning that that was a practice that served you? [00:17:08] Speaker C: For me, it was. I've been a war. So for me, it was that. That aspect of it, you know what I mean? Trying to calm my head from different, you know what I'm saying different things or getting into different spaces. Because, like, you know, when you know, like, the difference between life and death in that way, you automatically realize that some shit ain't that deep. Right? But then on the other hand, it's like, I can make it that deep. You know what I mean? So in my head, it was more just. Just focusing up and. And trying not to lose my temper or lose my cool. I started to meditate and it was, yeah, like a learn practice. YouTube university. And then I seen, you know, therapist for a bit and it got weird. Tried to sell me drugs and I. [00:17:46] Speaker A: Was like, wait, what? [00:17:48] Speaker B: Huh? [00:17:48] Speaker A: Okay, tell the story. [00:17:49] Speaker B: No, for real. [00:17:52] Speaker C: You go to the therapist office and we've been talking for a while, you know what I'm saying? Good thing. And then pulled out a prescription pad. Talking about something. It's just this. It's drug dealing. [00:18:01] Speaker B: It's drug dealing. It is. It is legal drug dealing. [00:18:04] Speaker C: You know the drugs I do. Just tell me how to do them better. I don't. I don't need. I don't need that, you know? [00:18:10] Speaker B: Right, right. [00:18:12] Speaker A: If her ain't working, should I go hybrid? [00:18:14] Speaker B: Because, I mean, like, with the chemicals. [00:18:16] Speaker C: Yeah, I might pop a thistle. What I gotta do here? [00:18:20] Speaker B: No, look, I. I got the funniest blue dolphin story, but that's not for this episode. [00:18:25] Speaker C: Blue dolphins need two cold. [00:18:26] Speaker A: It might be. It might be crazy. You don't get to bring up. [00:18:30] Speaker B: I had a very small window in that I was an experimenter because I have a lot of bass Heads in my family, so I never wanted to. I knew I wasn't meant to ever hit a line or do certain things. [00:18:41] Speaker A: Right, right, right. [00:18:42] Speaker B: But I definitely indulged in a blue dolphin one time. And it was the person who I was celebrating with. I'm sure he thought he was about to blow my back out. The fact that I sat crisscross applesauce and freestyle all night. [00:18:59] Speaker C: Had his N. Yo. The first time I did this, I rapped too, for like 45 minutes straight. We was going to a graduation. [00:19:09] Speaker B: I had a good 200, 2,000 bars. [00:19:13] Speaker C: Like, that's wild. That's wild. I guess this make you rap, Mac Dre was. [00:19:20] Speaker B: Yeah, I had bars. [00:19:22] Speaker C: Yeah. Only did it twice a night. [00:19:23] Speaker B: Yeah. No, that's when I knew I was not. [00:19:26] Speaker C: That wasn't my. [00:19:28] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, but the visual is just. [00:19:31] Speaker C: You was raised by crackheads too then, huh? [00:19:34] Speaker B: No, I was raised around crackheads. [00:19:36] Speaker C: Okay. [00:19:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:37] Speaker C: I mean, they was around. [00:19:39] Speaker B: Yeah, basically. I mean, I'm definitely a product of the 80s crack epidemic, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, my mom had us in church when my dad, you know what I'm saying, had another lifestyle. Do you know what I mean? And then my mom, unfortunately, she's the baby of 10, so other than her and I think one of my uncles, all of the rest of them succumb to crap or whatever, you know what I'm saying? And it basically been based as long as I can remember. So it's definitely. I saw enough examples to where, for one thing, our comedy is crazy because I feel like a lot of, like, your laughter and a lot of things you come from is like, trying to find the bright side of some of the shit we don't been to experience. But the other part of it is it let me know that I was like, not ever meant to experiment because it's in my DNA that I'm gonna like it. I very much was gonna be, you know what I'm saying, like a base head. [00:20:28] Speaker A: 3,000 bars, 100. Yeah, absolutely. [00:20:32] Speaker C: That's the comedy equation, though. [00:20:33] Speaker A: It is. [00:20:34] Speaker C: It's tragedy plus time equals comedy. [00:20:36] Speaker B: Right? [00:20:36] Speaker C: You know? [00:20:37] Speaker B: Yep. [00:20:37] Speaker A: Okay. [00:20:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I like that. [00:20:40] Speaker A: I'm thinking, put that on the shirt. It's probably already on a shirt. Right. [00:20:43] Speaker B: But it is the truth, because they do talk about, like, some of the funniest people have been through the most. [00:20:50] Speaker A: That's facts. [00:20:51] Speaker B: So do you. Do you agree with that? [00:20:52] Speaker C: 100. [00:20:53] Speaker B: Okay. [00:20:53] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. You gotta. In order to be funny, you really gotta be able to make light of Things other people might take serious. [00:20:59] Speaker B: Right. And that's why I also think that black people are the funniest. Like low key. Because the way that we'll laugh about. Like for instance, we're like, remember whenever mom knocked you out and you fell down the stairs, like for some reason if another community heard that shit, they were like, you know what I mean? But we find a way to make it funny about some of the most horrific things that we've been through or. [00:21:19] Speaker C: The way we explain people. [00:21:20] Speaker B: That's true. [00:21:21] Speaker C: You know, Michael. Michael, who you talking about? [00:21:23] Speaker B: Musty Mike. [00:21:24] Speaker C: You know, you see, you see, y' all come. [00:21:27] Speaker B: If black people would describe people anyt type of way. We talk about how we got. Nick. We do have nicknames for us. Most of the people that we. [00:21:33] Speaker C: Y' all got a group chat, huh? [00:21:35] Speaker B: Absolutely. A couple of them. [00:21:37] Speaker C: Everybody on group chat got a nickname. [00:21:38] Speaker B: 100%.

Why would anybody buy a general remission ticket? [00:26:21] Speaker B: Because, I don't know, you want to. [00:26:23] Speaker C: Go eat some over overly priced food? [00:26:25] Speaker A: It's like, some people like to be in the. In the energy, in the space. I just don't think that our arena is. That. [00:26:32] Speaker B: That wasn't. That wasn't what.

Like, Blazer tickets is on Groupon. Like, what's going on? So I was like, I'm gonna go to the bathroom, and I need you to handle your business and figure it out. So when I came back, he had bought some general admission tickets. [00:26:51] Speaker C: Okay. [00:26:51] Speaker B: And so we get in there, and I'm like, I'm pissed. Cause I'm hungry.

And then there was deers and then there was kangaroos and jumping on trampolines and. [00:28:15] Speaker B: Yeah, but I do feel like it's like mental illness a little bit when people be accepting compliments from AI pictures. [00:28:22] Speaker C: That's crazy.

[00:28:57] Speaker C: It happens. I mean, it's one of those ones. I might still find myself funny, but. [00:29:02] Speaker A: It was funny to me. [00:29:04] Speaker C: I was in a room and it was. The audience was primarily white women. And I like to dig in on white women when I'm on stage. [00:29:13] Speaker B: I do love that about you. [00:29:14] Speaker C: You know, I'm just gonna be all the way. I just point out the hypocrisy that they have sometimes, and they didn't like it and I liked it, so I just kept going. [00:29:22] Speaker A: I don't Think that you knew it was like, that Might not have. [00:29:25] Speaker C: I got a story about when I threw. I got to throw a white woman before and what?

[00:30:41] Speaker C: I go in there and he fake snoring, like. Yeah. And I'm like. I start yelling at him, and you know what I'm saying? He is. [00:30:51] Speaker A: He is. [00:30:52] Speaker C: I'm going in on him a little bit. Boy, don't be going in they room. Stay out of here. You know? But I'm kind of like, I see. I know why you did it. [00:30:58] Speaker B: Right? [00:30:58] Speaker C: Well, the lady that lived next door, his room, it's the summertime. His window right next door is where this lady was outside getting her drink on. I don't know, chilling, doing whatever she's. [00:31:08] Speaker B: Doing, but minding business. [00:31:10] Speaker C: The girl's crying. She hear me yelling at my son, so now he crying, right? So as I come downstairs, she knocking on my door, like, banging on my door. Nevermind. [00:31:18] Speaker A: Go ahead, girl. [00:31:19] Speaker C: Right? I opened the door and I was like. She was lit. And I'm like. And she's like, I heard some kids crying. And I'm like, let me go ahead and eat your mind. It's fine. I was just yelling at my kids a little bit. Kids cry when they, you know, when a parent yells at her. It's fine. And then she goes, well, is it? And I'm like, well, Now I'm done explaining. I'm just gonna close my door. When I close my door, she stuck her foot in it, in her shoulder, like, you know what I mean? Like, you know, oh, she gonna bogart. [00:31:43] Speaker B: Her way up in here. [00:31:44] Speaker C: Facts. [00:31:44] Speaker A: Oh, she was drunk. Drunk. [00:31:45] Speaker C: So I picked her up by her chin and her throat. I threw her off my porch. [00:31:50] Speaker B: That is how I caught a case when I first moved here, though. So I. I understand. I'm on your side. [00:31:56] Speaker C: And then I called the police. I feel like white women are the only people you can call the police on. Don't call the police on nobody but white women. White women are the only. [00:32:04] Speaker B: Yeah, that was the mistake I made. [00:32:05] Speaker A: You know what, though? Especially when they drunk, because they gonna tell on themselves. [00:32:08] Speaker B: That's true. [00:32:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:09] Speaker C: Oh, no. I called him. I said, man, look, I don't want to press no charges or nothing. This what I want. I just need y'. All. I just need a record of this. I just threw this white lady off my porch. And you know what I mean? I just needed to be documented. He's like, where do you need us? I'm like, you can come over here. There's the address. She's still over here. I'm trying to tell her to leave my yard, but she's still out here acting crazy, you know? And he was like, somebody's on the way. He tried to hang up. I said, oh, you not hanging up on me. You crazy. You finna listen to this whole conversation. [00:32:35] Speaker B: Yeah, we need everything going on. [00:32:38] Speaker C: As soon as they got there, she was like, he hit me, put a gun on me. He punched me. And she just started lying. And I was like, oh, see, I'm happy I kept these motherfuckers out. [00:32:47] Speaker B: Cause they do come with a different energy. If you were the one that. [00:32:50] Speaker C: That. [00:32:51] Speaker B: That called versus the other person. That's the mistake I made. [00:32:53] Speaker C: Yeah. I didn't call. She cut the officers out when they didn't believe her. They were like, that didn't happen, ma'. Am. We got. She went off on him. She spit on one. [00:33:02] Speaker B: She was satisfying. There's something. See, my move is the mush. You did the. I love a good mush. Like, till your neck snap a little bit. I love that. [00:33:14] Speaker A: We'Re bonding over beating up white women. [00:33:16] Speaker C: You know, sometimes. [00:33:17] Speaker B: Sometimes I'm not particular. Anybody can catch it. You know what I'm saying? But, yeah, it's a different level of satisfaction. [00:33:22] Speaker A: The views of my guests are not the views. We do not advocate violence, not advocate for bullying. [00:33:30] Speaker B: We have grown we have evolved from there. [00:33:32] Speaker C: But she was the bully. I was just reacting to the bully. [00:33:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:36] Speaker B: Yes. [00:33:37] Speaker C: That's the only one I've ever thrown. I've wanted to throw others, but not the right time. [00:33:41] Speaker B: You know, that's true. [00:33:42] Speaker A: What makes it a right time? [00:33:44] Speaker C: Only if they're really like trying to break in your house. Other than that, because they. They will just talk to you any old kind of way. They treat you like the help. Just no matter. All the time bully, the out of. [00:33:55] Speaker B: You antagonizing that is involved. [00:33:58] Speaker C: You can't do nothing about it really. You know, because if you punch them then. [00:34:01] Speaker B: Right. I think especially in today's climate, I wish that there was not such a plethora of Karen videos. The fact that I feel like is, I'm like, is it that we're just documenting it more or that they're a lot bolder? I'm trying to figure out why there's so much ye. [00:34:15] Speaker C: I think it's a little bit of both. [00:34:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:16] Speaker C: It's the climate. And then also we have access to technology now. That we do. [00:34:21] Speaker B: Yeah. That we didn't before. And that is our like first reaction. Our knee jerk reaction now is just immediately I'm gonna grab the phone, you know, like, where we probably didn't think about documenting it like that back in the day. That's true. [00:34:31] Speaker A: Like, because back in the day you could just react. [00:34:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:33] Speaker A: Now you got to do all the extra stuff. Yeah. That's wild. [00:34:37] Speaker B: Wow. [00:34:38] Speaker A: Okay. We. We. Okay. So that joke, clearly. Yeah, Got it. I'm curious. [00:34:45] Speaker B: Solidarity of their fellow sister that he wasn't okay with. [00:34:48] Speaker C: They wasn't. They wasn't. They wasn't. And I was. I was picking on them too. I ain't gonna lie. [00:34:53] Speaker A: So when you walk into a space and it's pretty much all white women, like, do you be like, ah, fuck, this is gonna be a bad show, or like, how does that work? [00:34:59] Speaker C: I test them waters. Here we go. [00:35:01] Speaker B: So you're kind of reading the room. [00:35:02] Speaker C: I'm up for the challenge. Y' all gonna watch me watch. But it. And that's not the only time I've been in that. A similar situation. A lot of times when I do go into those jokes and it's why when they. They are laughing, they laughing at themselves. They understand. [00:35:21] Speaker A: They understand where I'm from because they know. [00:35:22] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:35:22] Speaker A: Right. [00:35:23] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:35:23] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:35:24] Speaker B: Just like how black folks we can laugh at ourselves. Like we know we be doing some stuff. That part. [00:35:29] Speaker A: Don't interview us. [00:35:29] Speaker B: No, for real, please. [00:35:32] Speaker C: Don't. [00:35:33] Speaker B: I was trying to get me a piece of burger or at least ask. [00:35:37] Speaker C: The people around who you should interview. Like just take a quick. You know what I'm saying? So survey of like, hey, who interview and probably the person that's like, the person that's like, don't interview me, interview that person. [00:35:47] Speaker B: Definitely, definitely not the one that's jumping to a. They was ready for it. They've been waiting for all their life for this moment. So. [00:35:53] Speaker A: Girl. [00:35:53] Speaker C: Oh my God, it's a fire. Oh, come on, lady. [00:35:58] Speaker A: No time for that. [00:35:59] Speaker B: Right? So you're married. So do you find just with you being somebody who's so like out or whatever, has it been hard for you to navigate like being in a relationship? [00:36:12] Speaker C: Yeah. Cause we getting divorced right now. [00:36:14] Speaker A: I was gonna say are you guys used to be asking preliminary question earlier. I was like, so. [00:36:20] Speaker B: So. [00:36:20] Speaker C: Yes, yeah, yes. It's hard. [00:36:22] Speaker A: So do you. I like seen a few posts. [00:36:24] Speaker B: Do you feel like that. That contributed to just you. Your outsideness or you just needing to be visible? You know, that's part of it. [00:36:32] Speaker C: That is definitely part of it. [00:36:33] Speaker B: I think that's a challenge for any relationship. And not only that, but. But you're a like such a charismatic like out spoken person. You know what I mean? So I, I could imagine it's a. [00:36:44] Speaker C: Lot more to it as well. But that's. [00:36:46] Speaker A: I'm definitely asked like what led to it because I know like there's. It's never just a one thing. It's. [00:36:51] Speaker B: Right. It's a kind of. [00:36:53] Speaker C: It's a lot of things though. When you, when you with somebody for 15 years, you have a whole bunch of unspoken stuff. You know what I mean? [00:36:58] Speaker B: Right. And especially because of where you guys were. Do you feel like you guys were in different, different places when you guys got together yet? [00:37:06] Speaker C: No, not really. I think we were both in the same. In the same realm of what we wanted to do and how we wanted to build. And I think over time, you know, it's a lot of things happen. But you know, she doing stuff that irritates me or gets made. I'm not saying nothing. I'm not even, you know, I'm saying bringing it up or even discussing or talking to her about it or I'm doing things that is getting on her nerves too and all that. And as you move through life and then all. And then after 15 years of this, you know, exactly like, yeah, everything is. Now you do this. Well, now you do this and you do this. Yeah, now you do, you know, and It's. [00:37:40] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I tell folks too. Like when I'm. When I'm talking to people, I tell them. I'm like, I like to address things in the moment, but I still like to take time to process what the issue is. [00:37:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:49] Speaker A: But I need to address it because I don't want to wait for it to build up and it be on the list. And then you filled attack. So now you coming at me with a bunch of things that you've been holding on to. So I' ma just. We just going one at a time. One at a time. The process is so. Yeah. So. Okay. But you did before we got on camera, you had mentioned that it was a mutual thing and that you guys are like amicable right now or. Amicable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a long day. Okay. [00:38:13] Speaker C: I mean I. I think we both understand it. We both understand where we are and that you know, I think that season a season over. [00:38:20] Speaker B: Gotcha. [00:38:21] Speaker C: But it doesn't mean I will always, always have nothing but love, respect. If she needs anything, you know, I will wake up at 4 o' clock in the morning and do you know she, you know she needs me for something. She really needs it. You know what I mean? But it's not a. She's not. Yeah. That woman always had my love in my heart. [00:38:40] Speaker A: Now like having watched like the Kevin Hart show, you know, where the girl, the. The wife was always mad because he was putting her the relationship into the comedy act. Are there things off limits about Yalls relationship? [00:38:51] Speaker B: Don't be talking about me. [00:38:52] Speaker C: She know me. Even if she did say that I don't. [00:38:55] Speaker B: You gonna do what the you want to do. [00:38:57] Speaker A: You know, I'm an open book. I don't care if you weren't. Right. [00:39:01] Speaker C: Sorry. [00:39:05] Speaker A: Have you ever told a joke that has actually pissed somebody off? The point to where they don't talk to you no more? [00:39:09] Speaker C: No, I don't think I ever got that far. I mean I've told jokes where I know people after the show was like, I don't like him. [00:39:15] Speaker A: Oh no. [00:39:16] Speaker C: But never not told a joke and not had a personal like relationship issue. But most, most of people in my. They know me and they know like yeah, yeah. This hitting the stage and I tell them we something that happened, I'd be like, oh yeah, this hitting the stage don't wait. No, no, no, no. It's hitting the stakes. [00:39:33] Speaker A: Right, right, right, right. Yes. [00:39:34] Speaker B: This is a new phenomenon because I do feel like people take like social media so seriously. Have you ever Had a person who doesn't like you because of social media. [00:39:43] Speaker C: Oh, hell, yeah. That happens all the time. [00:39:44] Speaker B: Me too. [00:39:45] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:45] Speaker B: So I was wondering. Yeah, I've had people was like, you know, we don't really like you. And I'm like, why? Well, we just don't like the way you carry yourself on social media. And I'm like, the fact that y' all be for one thing. Cause, you know, we play too much. [00:39:55] Speaker C: Right. [00:39:56] Speaker B: And that be like, where a lot of it is. You can't take anything that we say seriously. [00:40:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:40:00] Speaker B: You know, but I can understand how you might rub people. [00:40:04] Speaker C: Well, I posted on Facebook a couple days ago, I'm retarded. And that's all I put on there. [00:40:09] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Not only that, but right now, that is a major. [00:40:17] Speaker C: I got a couple calls like, come on, take that down. Blah, blah, blah. [00:40:20] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:40:21] Speaker C: Get the hell out of here. You know, there's a couple of inboxes. [00:40:25] Speaker B: But when you're a comedian, nothing's off limits. That's the other thing, too, that people have to understand. And I know that's where especially. Cause we're right now in the cancel culture and all of that. So people are hypersensitive or whatever. But you can't try to censor somebody has made a living. [00:40:42] Speaker C: It's true, though. It's true. I didn't lie. I'm gonna lie to y'. All. [00:40:48] Speaker A: How many folks agreed with you versus those few, Right. [00:40:51] Speaker C: They're like, yeah, almost everybody that really knew me agreed. They're like, yeah, yeah. [00:40:56] Speaker A: No, but speaking of cancel culture, like, do you feel like how people. How sensitive people are nowadays has that, like, obviously it's changed comedy, but does it change how you approach comedy at all? [00:41:05] Speaker C: No, I don't care. Like, the only thing I think is counselable is, like, you know, if you rape somebody, pedophile, like, all that stuff. Counselable, but just words. People saying what they gonna say. They just gonna say it. They gonna say it whether it's on the stage or if they at the house with the homies. You know what I'm saying? I'd rather you get it off, you know what I mean? On stage for the world to actually hear what the hell you talking about? I might not like your comedy, but I don't believe in counseling somebody because they say things that I don't agree with or I like. [00:41:32] Speaker B: I do. I am a little weird about when people joke about rape, though. You know what I'm saying? Cause there is a comed went to go see, actually In Tacoma. And he joked about raping his girlfriend's daughter. His girlfriend's teenage daughter. And I haven't been able to look at him the same. [00:41:50] Speaker C: That's wild. [00:41:50] Speaker B: It's crazy as hell. Cuz I'm like, how is that? Like there are certain things that I feel like aren't even cool to joke about. You know what I'm saying? It says a lot about who some joke. [00:42:00] Speaker C: I think every joke got a little bit of truth. [00:42:01] Speaker B: It got a little truth to it. Exactly. [00:42:04] Speaker C: Where's the truth at in that? [00:42:06] Speaker A: Because you thought about it enough to make. [00:42:08] Speaker B: And he's been trending. I can't remember who he's getting into it with right now. Is it Lunel? There's somebody who he's beefing with right now. He's a black comedian. [00:42:16] Speaker C: Which one is it? [00:42:18] Speaker B: Corey? It's Corey Holcomb. [00:42:19] Speaker C: Oh, Corey Holcomb. Okay. [00:42:21] Speaker B: And he. Yeah, he basically. He was like how his. His girlfriend's daughter doesn't like him and this, that and the other. And he was like. Or he said that one time he got into it with his girlfriend and he was like, shut up for I fuck your daughter. And I was like. And I just was judging everybody who even laughed at it. Cause I'm like, you know, and I'm a mom too, so I kind of was like, you kind of weird. Cause the fact you even looked at the little girl like, you know, like you say there's a little bit of truth. And I just feel like that ain't even cool to joke about. So. Yeah, I ain't really rocked with him ever since. [00:42:55] Speaker C: Yeah, I ain't heard that joke. But that's wild. [00:42:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:58] Speaker A: Sounds like it's on par with him, but. [00:43:00] Speaker C: Oh yeah, he definitely very much gives me predator. Yeah. [00:43:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:04] Speaker A: He. [00:43:04] Speaker C: He. He live on a. On a. On a whole different belief system. Yeah, yeah, it's different. [00:43:11] Speaker A: We'll leave it at that. We'll leave it at that. [00:43:14] Speaker B: Yeah. I ain't. I. That didn't rub me the right way at all, man. [00:43:18] Speaker A: And how do your kids approach your. Your career choices? And do any of them seem like they're following in your footsteps? [00:43:26] Speaker C: They got jokes. All my kids got jokes. You know what I mean? [00:43:28] Speaker A: You can't not. [00:43:30] Speaker C: I don't will they hit a stage? My son has a couple of times he be trying to tell Joe he just goofy. [00:43:36] Speaker B: So he is a trip. That's when I put the piece together. Cause like I said, I've been connected to both of you guys on social media. And then One day she shared a picture. I think it was like, first day of school or something. And I was like, why that kid look like G? And then I finally was like, oh, lowercase. [00:43:55] Speaker C: Now that's Big G. That's Big G. I'm Lil G when it come to him, man. Yeah, yeah, it's all good. It's all good. I like him to feel big, though. You know what I mean? [00:44:05] Speaker B: Yeah, that's Big G. Yeah, I love that. [00:44:08] Speaker A: What's your favorite part of being a dad? [00:44:10] Speaker C: I think it's just talking to them and watching them grow. You know what I mean? When they finally. And then when they open up to you in different kind of ways. My favorite part is when you get a chance to really peer into their personalities because, you know, they. As being a dad, they have a certain level of like. Like fear or, like, you know what I mean? It's that respect, but also some fear. Like, you my dad. Like, you gotta be right. [00:44:30] Speaker B: And I have heard that you're pretty strict, and you're kind of the one that, like, you. You, you know, hold them accountable to a certain degree, you know, And I do think that there's a level of. [00:44:39] Speaker A: Like, I've heard a lot of. [00:44:41] Speaker B: Well, no, because like, I said, that was the topic. Yeah, that was the topic. Like, whenever I was on the podcast. [00:44:46] Speaker A: Oh, gotcha. [00:44:47] Speaker B: And they were, like, I said, I had no idea at the time the person. Person that they were speaking of was him. [00:44:52] Speaker A: Got you. [00:44:52] Speaker B: And they just talk about, like, with you having the military background and things like that and just kind of like, you know, you're the one. You gonna do wall sits. [00:44:59] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm not. I'm not a fan of whooping them. I don't. I don't. I don't want to whip my kids. I don't want to put my hands on my kids. [00:45:04] Speaker B: Some Drew Hills now they call them. [00:45:05] Speaker A: Masterpiece now when you run in place. [00:45:07] Speaker B: That is hilarious. [00:45:09] Speaker C: Make them say, give me 50. [00:45:12] Speaker B: Make them say, yeah, we should not have ever been the new adults. No, that's the crazy thing about it. Like, when you think about it. Who. Who authorized that? [00:45:22] Speaker C: It's perfect. [00:45:23] Speaker B: Like, for real. [00:45:24] Speaker A: We don't take nothing serious. We. At all. Have you seen that man? That was crumping with. [00:45:28] Speaker B: That was crumping with it. That's why I said, like, who let us baby? [00:45:32] Speaker A: Like, so the baby was a crib and it was like. [00:45:34] Speaker B: Baby was like. He was like. He was like, oh, what, you want a challenge? [00:45:39] Speaker C: That's perfect. [00:45:41] Speaker B: They really let us be the New adult. That's wild. [00:45:45] Speaker C: I think it's good. [00:45:46] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, man. Okay, so how do you. Okay, well, given this scenario, outside of that, how do you maintain romance without falling into being the funny guy all the time? [00:46:00] Speaker C: I mean, I can be sexy, you. [00:46:02] Speaker A: Know, so I don't know why that was funny. See, talking about. [00:46:07] Speaker C: Talking to G.

I've never ever like spent time like a whole day or date or anything with a woman and she has not laughed. And I think if I did, that'll be weird. [00:46:26] Speaker B: You got a te her house, you.

[00:46:34] Speaker A: You could be hella ugly. Ugly. And if you funny, you. You gonna get some action still from some people. [00:46:38] Speaker C: Yeah. Somebody gonna talk to you. But even if it's just a conversation, the ugliest in the world can walk up and say something to you to make you laugh and say, can I buy you a drink? And you'll talk to them and they're not so ugly. [00:46:49] Speaker B: That's true. That is very true. Yeah. Really? [00:46:52] Speaker A: Are there any times that you laugh when it's not appropriate? [00:46:55] Speaker C: Oh, all the time.

[00:48:13] Speaker C: I'll be looking for other people. Anybody got in on this? Yep, anybody. And then somebody else would be like, I got 30. Oh, I got. Ooh. And the next thing you know, you have a pot. People just keep trying to outdo each. [00:48:21] Speaker B: Other and still can't do a backflip. [00:48:23] Speaker A: And then someone's using that money for their medical bills. [00:48:26] Speaker B: I was about to say, yeah, sometimes that happens. Sometimes. [00:48:30] Speaker A: Oh, my goodness. You mentioned being in the military, though. But so what? What part of the military and why? [00:48:37] Speaker C: I was in the Army. I joined the army because I got to argue with my mom. I had moved back home. College wasn't really working out, and I don't know where and. [00:48:45] Speaker A: Are you from Portland? [00:48:46] Speaker C: I'm from Portland, yeah. [00:48:47] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. [00:48:48] Speaker C: And then I was like, I don't know what I'm gonna do. You know me kind of in that realm. I was getting money, but just not the way I was supposed to be. And, you know, she was just like, what are you gonna do? You just doing it? And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And she was in my head, and I was like, that's why I'm joining the Army. And I said it, but I just said it. It was like, something. And the next day, I went up and I went down to the recruiter's office, and I was like, man, what would it take to join the Army? Like, what is it? I told my mom's gonna do this, so at least let me come down here and see what's up. You know? I didn't wanna lie to her, so I went to the door. [00:49:18] Speaker B: So even playing too much landed you in the military? [00:49:21] Speaker C: In the military. [00:49:22] Speaker A: God damn. Just playing too much when keeping it real goes wrong. [00:49:26] Speaker C: Think about it. That was. That was funny, too. I think about, like, basic training and shit. Like, it was funny because, like, you go to this place when you first join, right? You go to this place called reception, and they give you all your army equipment, clothes, all that. Shave your head. They. You go through this line, and they just be injecting you with shit. [00:49:45] Speaker B: Huh? [00:49:46] Speaker C: Just, like, different immunizations, supposedly like, everyone that's out there, it don't matter if you get it again. They give it to you. And then they give everybody a penicillin shot. Just in case you come in here with anything on that. On that. [00:49:58] Speaker B: Not if you got the clap, right? [00:50:00] Speaker C: You got the clap. We're gonna cure all of it right now. [00:50:02] Speaker B: Right now. [00:50:02] Speaker C: Right now. So that right there is like. It's wild, but going through everything, right? And then they put you on these trucks and you go to your basic training, right? And the truck is like cattle trucks. So everybody's standing up, and you got a bag on your. In your front, and you got a bag on your back. And you just holding it. And then the lights is out. You don't know where you're going. You just driving in the back of this truck. And then all of a sudden, it stops. Lights come on, the doors open, and drill sergeant's just flooded. Just yelling at you. Get your ass off my bus. Get off my bus. What are you doing? Get off my bus. Oh, you look like you asleep. Get off my bus. And you get off the bus. And they line everybody up. They just yelling at everybody the whole time. [00:50:37] Speaker A: Whoa. [00:50:38] Speaker B: So that's real? [00:50:39] Speaker A: That happened at church one time. [00:50:40] Speaker B: Not waiting. What? [00:50:42] Speaker A: Yeah, it did. [00:50:43] Speaker C: And so I always been. I always been a big dude. And I always had some pudge to me, right? Even. You know what I'm saying? Young. And this dude, this drill sergeant, he had to be like, five, six. He walked up on me and he had a big ass nigga chewing his mouth. And he was like, what makes you think you can come to my army looking the way you do? I'mma call you Private Burger King. You Private Burger King. And I was like, cuz, I hope that don't stick. It didn't stick. [00:51:06] Speaker B: It didn't stick. [00:51:07] Speaker C: It didn't stick. [00:51:08] Speaker A: Oh, it's sticking now. [00:51:09] Speaker B: For real. [00:51:10] Speaker A: I'm putting this in my phone today. [00:51:13] Speaker C: But I wanted to laugh. I'm like this nigga roasting me. I wanted to come back, but I really couldn't. You know what I mean? Not private, but then you looking around. But they doing the same thing to everybody. So I'm like, this is just part of the game. [00:51:29] Speaker B: It's just a game digging into your mental. [00:51:31] Speaker C: So I didn't take it personal, you know? And it was. Basic training was easy. [00:51:35] Speaker B: Wow. [00:51:36] Speaker C: It was easy as hell. [00:51:37] Speaker B: And so you really did stumble your ass into. [00:51:39] Speaker C: Into the military. [00:51:40] Speaker B: For how long? [00:51:41] Speaker C: I wasn't there for 10 years. [00:51:43] Speaker B: What? [00:51:44] Speaker C: Yep. Yeah. [00:51:44] Speaker B: So when you said you've been to war. What. [00:51:48] Speaker C: In Iraq? Yep, Yep, yep. Yeah, I was a medic. So when you're a medic is weird because you just go with anybody. My first one, I had an infantry unit that I was with, and then minimal care detachment, and then an engineer unit that I was with, and then I went back to the minimal care detachment. [00:52:05] Speaker B: Gotcha. [00:52:05] Speaker C: So, yeah. [00:52:08] Speaker B: So is it true that, like, if you're dumb, that you're not gonna be, like, ranked? Well? [00:52:13] Speaker C: So that's another thing. [00:52:14] Speaker B: They're like. That's why, like, a lot of people who are like, oh, I wasn't a good student or whatnot, I'll just go to the military. That's not necessarily the move, because you. [00:52:21] Speaker A: Most like, liability one. [00:52:22] Speaker B: That's like, you're. You're like the sacrificial. [00:52:25] Speaker A: Absolute freaking. Literally. [00:52:26] Speaker C: You take a test before you come in. It's called the asvab. And so you take a practice test at, like, the recruiter's office. And I took the practice test, but I was like, I don't really care, right? And I think I got, like, a 46 or something. He was like, well, you did good enough to pass. We're gonna take you down to the real test. So I go take the real test, and I'm like, this is the real one. So I'm paying attention, and I'm actually going in. And then we get in the car, come back, and then he gets the letter. And he was like, oh, we got an alpha. And I was like, what the hell does that mean? He was like, well, you scored high on the asvab. I didn't think he was gonna do it because your dumb ass scores in here. And I was like, well, I wasn't really taking that serious, bro. [00:53:00] Speaker A: I really do. [00:53:01] Speaker C: I really don't want to do this. I told my mom, like. And he was like, you can pick any job you want because. And they break the scores down in different ways. So, like, my ST score was like, 115 or something like that. And, like, you know what I'm saying? And. And. And so I was like, through all these jobs, it was one that said healthcare specialist. And I was like, that sounds safe. [00:53:21] Speaker A: Right? [00:53:22] Speaker C: Right. [00:53:26] Speaker A: I'm not gonna die. [00:53:29] Speaker B: I mean, I feel like that's fair. [00:53:32] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. But I didn't know as soon as. Now, after you leave basic training, you go to a place called ait, which is where you learn your job skill. Right? And at ait, when we got there, they said, I know. We told y'. All. I know that the paper that you signed said you was a healthcare specialist. I'm gonna let y' all know, y' all combat medics. [00:53:48] Speaker B: And we was like, oh, wow. [00:53:50] Speaker A: Okay. [00:53:52] Speaker C: They tricked us with a little bit of language. [00:53:53] Speaker B: That's like being a sanitary engineer. [00:53:55] Speaker C: You a guy, man. I said, we combat medics. I gotta get ready for a whole nother situation. And. Yeah, and they put you through it, and then you can end up with any. Anybody. So being ended up with some. With infantry was interesting in itself because they scoring like 35s and like, 36. You know what I mean? It's a bunch of that. [00:54:16] Speaker B: See, what? I wasn't sure if that was true, but, yeah, they do say that if you're not that smart. [00:54:22] Speaker C: You got a 11 before, yo, the AIT. It comes with two numbers in. In the letter. Mine was 68 whiskey. Right. If you have 11, anything after that? All infantry. [00:54:34] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:54:35] Speaker C: Yeah. All infantry jobs. Yeah. So it was interesting. The engineers was more fun, though, because they. They had a lot more equipment they can build. [00:54:44] Speaker A: Okay, okay. [00:54:45] Speaker B: That's dope. [00:54:46] Speaker C: All right. [00:54:47] Speaker A: What was the. Like, how do you incorporate that training and that experience into your daily life now? [00:54:55] Speaker C: I think just still having that, like, going to the gym when I want. Like, if I didn't, I would be like £600. I have the body that, like, if I didn't do stuff, I would be fat as fuck. You know what I mean? And so it just staying other, you know, ways to stay in shape and then still having that. That mentality of like, okay, bro, you getting fat. Like, you know what I'm saying? You really gotta, really gotta start having that discipline. I'm always gonna be a bigger dude, but, like, you getting way too fast. [00:55:22] Speaker A: He's like, but I can ruin, though, right? [00:55:24] Speaker C: They gonna name you. They gonna name you titties in the group chat. I don't want to be titties in nobody's group chat. [00:55:31] Speaker A: So she gonna definitely be. [00:55:36] Speaker C: Private Burger. [00:55:37] Speaker A: King, because that is crazy. Crazy. [00:55:41] Speaker C: It was a dude they call H Hot Dog head. It stuck too. [00:55:44] Speaker B: No way. He had a long ass head. [00:55:46] Speaker C: No, he had one of them heads that. Where it was like, lumpy on the top. Oh, no, not just in the back, but, like, on the top. He just hit a drill, start screaming, hot dog head. Like, all the way down, forever. It was wild. I was like, damn, I'm happy I ain't him. I'm happy that Private bird. [00:56:01] Speaker B: Private Bird King all day. Happy you could twist it. You know, I can give it to your way. [00:56:06] Speaker A: How you Want, right? What is the, the craziest thing that's ever happened to you while performing or at least, like traveling to perform or at least. Or maybe that you've seen other comedians? [00:56:25] Speaker C: Man, I don't know. It's crazy to have. When you're dealing with comedians, there's some crazy. So it's just like parties after parties and stuff like that. Like, you know, the different fights that break out or the different beefs that you don't know about that you accidentally walk into. [00:56:39] Speaker A: I heard comedian beef is like, really for real. [00:56:41] Speaker C: For real. [00:56:42] Speaker A: Like, honestly, it's for real. [00:56:43] Speaker C: And I know it's funny, but, like, they really competitive. Just because they funny don't mean they ain't. They ain't with the. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're not playing with you. So. [00:56:51] Speaker B: Right. [00:56:52] Speaker C: It. Yeah. I think my uptown comedy corner is one of my favorite ones in Atlanta. And just you. This is that, that you'll see up there. Sometimes the comedian beef, it's rough because if you go to an open microphone at uptown, it's literally like fighting in a bullpen. Like, they only got so many spots and it's like 70 comedians in a room. And so you really trying to get to the host. Like, hey, make sure I get on that list. Let me get on the list. Boom, boom. And then you could get on the list and still get bumped, depending on who walk in. You know what I'm saying? But it's also like that at a lot of the comedy clubs, if you go in there for overnight, you want to work out, you want to get in front of that audience. Yeah. LA is the same way. It's a real, It's a real bullpen. And you really got to get in there and mix it up and know some people, talk to some folks and then make them feel like they already knew you before, you know, because motherfuckers is gonna lie. [00:57:40] Speaker B: So it's a matter of kind of like selling yourself or being able to, like, have a reputation that at least, like, okay, he. We know he's funny. Okay. [00:57:48] Speaker C: Right? Or a lot of times, this is what I do. I, I, if I, my, I got a lot of friends in a lot of different places, but, you know, so it's always good to have one of your friends that knows and that's in. Say something about you to, like, the host or something like that. When you, they already know you before you walked up. [00:58:01] Speaker A: Right? They're gonna be like, hey, coming on today. Because I already know. Yeah. [00:58:04] Speaker C: And then so fake. They be acting like they Know you even if they don't. [00:58:08] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:58:08] Speaker C: You know what I mean? Just because somebody else mentions you. [00:58:10] Speaker A: Yeah, that's how I did Chris Paul one time. [00:58:13] Speaker C: Really? [00:58:13] Speaker A: Listen, I was in New Orleans, and we were walking, and there was, like, some people standing outside, and it was like a club, and it was like a party happening. I was like, oh, what's happening? You know, they're like, oh, you know Chris Paul's having a party. And I was like, oh, okay. And they're like, you know who Chris Paul is? I was like, mm. And they're like, you know, it's like 75 to get in. And I was like, like, I'll pass. I was talking to Chris Paul. [00:58:33] Speaker C: You was talking to Chris Paul. [00:58:34] Speaker A: Did not even know it. I was like. I looked back later, I was like, oh, that's. [00:58:39] Speaker C: That. [00:58:39] Speaker A: That's. That's the guy that was outside. Oh, yeah. Missed that opportunity real bad. [00:58:46] Speaker C: Real bad. [00:58:46] Speaker A: Real bad. [00:58:48] Speaker C: That is wild. [00:58:51] Speaker B: Do you know who he is? Should have been a dead giveaway, right? [00:58:53] Speaker C: Cuz I was like, you know who he is? [00:58:55] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. [00:58:56] Speaker C: Chris Paul having a party tonight. I like how he referred to himself in third person just like. [00:59:01] Speaker A: Right, that part. That part. [00:59:03] Speaker B: Exactly, exactly. [00:59:05] Speaker C: That's funny. [00:59:05] Speaker B: I'll pass. He ain't worth it, you know, I. [00:59:09] Speaker A: Got better things to do. [00:59:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I heard this. Parties be kind of whack. [00:59:12] Speaker C: Oh, shoot. I've been into a couple that ain't all that. Right? [00:59:17] Speaker A: There you go. Okay. What has been your. Your biggest lesson in life? [00:59:22] Speaker C: My biggest lesson? That I don't know, you know, I was a kid and I grew, and I thought I knew everything. You know what I mean? And so for me, it was when I really realized, like, man, you really don't know, because I know what I know, right? And then y' all know what y' all know. It'll take you. I'm not gonna assume any ages here, but it'll take y' all as long as you've been born to explain to me everything that you know, everything you went through. And so according to y', all, I don't know shit. You know what I mean? And according to me, y' all don't know. So you know. And so when you look at life that way, it always makes you more optimistic about meeting somebody and meeting a friend. [00:59:55] Speaker A: Because you can learn. [00:59:56] Speaker C: You're gonna learn something from everybody. I don't care who it is. Eight months to a 80 blind clip, real crazy. You can learn shit from an old man, you can learn shit from a baby. [01:00:03] Speaker B: Yeah. And you can learn a lot from a fool. [01:00:05] Speaker A: Bars. [01:00:05] Speaker C: Yeah, bars, Bars. [01:00:08] Speaker A: On that note. [01:00:09] Speaker C: And then my grandma told me one thing, though. One more thing my grandma told me was stupid people get old too. So I always try to remember that. I always try to remember that as I talk to my elders and because I usually believe in everything these be saying. [01:00:20] Speaker B: That's true. That's true. Yes. Yes. [01:00:24] Speaker A: And the crazy ones live the longest, I swear. [01:00:27] Speaker B: And crackheads. Crack is a preservative. [01:00:30] Speaker A: It is safe. [01:00:32] Speaker C: During COVID Oh, when I turn 70, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. When I turn 70, I'm smoking some crack. [01:00:37] Speaker B: I'm gonna try to be dead serious. I'm just. [01:00:38] Speaker C: I'm gonna try it at least once. I. I grew up around a whole bunch of people that loved it. And that's the only reason why I never did it. But it had to be. They're old. [01:00:44] Speaker B: But that's the thing about it. Like, if you think about it, I'm gonna tell you guys a real life story. I have an uncle that was an alcoholic, and he, you know, had got clean or whatever, and he ended up getting diagnosed with cancer. And he was gone just like that. I have another uncle that has been a crackhead as long as I've been alive. And that man's still alive. And he's had cancer since, like, I was 14. And so. So my theory is this the crack. It's gotta be the crack that has preserved and kept. [01:01:11] Speaker A: It's gotta be the crack, though. This new crack, ain't it? [01:01:14] Speaker C: New crack, ain't it? [01:01:16] Speaker B: But he's still smoking crack. So it's not like he hoarded the crack, but he ate, like, the resistance in his body. I don't know. But I just know that if I ever. Lord forbid, if I ever get diagnosed with anything, I'm smoking crack. [01:01:28] Speaker C: Oh, I'm with you on this. [01:01:30] Speaker B: You see what I'm saying? [01:01:30] Speaker C: Yeah, I got you. I'm with you on this one. I like it. Yeah, I like your theory. I'm rocking with that one. [01:01:35] Speaker B: For real. [01:01:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:01:36] Speaker B: Even Boosie said it. Boosie had an interview where he was talking about people need to go back to smoking crack because fentanyl is why there's these young babies. Crackheads live forever. [01:01:49] Speaker A: I think crack is still made the same, but they. They infuse it with everything they did, mixing it. So that's. You don't know. [01:01:55] Speaker B: But I feel like the formula is still the same. Like it. You know what I mean? Like, you got to have the Certain recipe. [01:02:00] Speaker C: Yeah. Little cocaine, some baking soda. [01:02:02] Speaker A: I was like, go ahead. [01:02:03] Speaker B: I don't want to tell on myself. [01:02:04] Speaker C: You know, it's all in the wrist. [01:02:07] Speaker A: It's all in the wrist entrepreneurship on this show. [01:02:10] Speaker B: Listen, let. Let times get hard enough. [01:02:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:02:14] Speaker A: You're gonna find all the old people who want to smoke crack, and it'd be like, here, customers. [01:02:18] Speaker B: And I already got the little bird call. [01:02:23] Speaker C: You know, she grew up in 80. Listen, everybody. [01:02:28] Speaker B: 18. [01:02:28] Speaker A: Oh, she throwing the shoes on the power line and everything. [01:02:32] Speaker C: That is funny. [01:02:34] Speaker B: I'm just saying, when times get rough, baby, I'm gonna make it do what it do. [01:02:37] Speaker A: Look, we had went from the best lesson to how to sell crack. [01:02:43] Speaker B: This is an inspirational show. I feel like across the board, this is gonna reach any walk of life. [01:02:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:02:49] Speaker C: When I turn 70, I'm doing it regardless, though. [01:02:52] Speaker B: You know what? [01:02:53] Speaker C: 70. [01:02:53] Speaker B: I understand. [01:02:54] Speaker A: He said he gonna be in perfect health. He's like, yep, today's the day.

I'm thinking about starting to sell crack. I want to sell crack in really affluent, white neighborhoods. I want to let us on crack. [01:04:03] Speaker B: Now, if you think about it, let's be for real. [01:04:05] Speaker C: I want to make it a thing. And if we can get some in Alameda, we can get some in Leg Oswego.

[01:05:59] Speaker B: Hair crack, exactly. Because I do be mixing. I be in the kitchen whipping with this in the wrist. [01:06:05] Speaker C: Like you make it yourself. Like for real. [01:06:06] Speaker B: For real. [01:06:06] Speaker C: Literally, yeah. [01:06:07] Speaker B: I literally, yeah. Be cracking a bottle. So this particular craft is fight. [01:06:12] Speaker A: Because her wrist is strong. [01:06:14] Speaker B: I do that upper body strength. But yeah. So today's crack in a bottle is the treat shampoo. It's my favorite because I love something that you can actually feel that gives you a little bit of a tingle to your scalp. Men love. It is really similar to like the Paul Mitchell tea tree and peppermint, where it just kind of gives you a little bit more of like an invigorating type of feeling. If you do have dandruff, if you do have seborrhea, any type of scalp issue is perfect for helping to treat that. But otherwise it is just a great, like hydrating and moisturizing and basically like treatment. Type of shampoo. So with us getting into the different seasons, I think this is a perfect product to speak about because it's cold out here. [01:06:56] Speaker A: You know, our scalp starts protective styles and stuff. Your hair get the itching and yeah. [01:07:01] Speaker B: You'D be needing something. Exactly. So I tell people, people are like, you know, who is it for anybody with the scalp? You know, a lot of like, even my bald clients, they like something that whenever they're like, you know, cleansing because you still have to cleanse your head fart. You know what I'm saying? Like producer. That was a shameless plug. It's vegan. All products are vegan plant based. Yep, that's dope. [01:07:22] Speaker A: It won't take your, your man unit off. [01:07:25] Speaker B: It works great for man units. [01:07:26] Speaker C: So can I wash it with the unit on there and it won't. [01:07:28] Speaker B: You definitely can. It's not going to lift because it's a sulfate free shampoo. So it's not going to strip it. [01:07:34] Speaker C: Okay. [01:07:34] Speaker A: Boom. And where can you order it at? Sis?

Well, you can find my missing co host which we miss dearly right now because we would not be talking about crack.
